El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

New — State Department employees have been instructed *not* to reply to OPM’s 5 bullet email, per an email I reviewed, saying leadership “will respond on behalf of the Department.”

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

Trump's bum-rush first month in office has left businesses scrambling to win over the president, avoid his ire, or simply figure out what's going on.

Here’s the email everyone is getting from OPM. Embarrassing stuff.

How Israel is violating the terms of the ceasefire: By now Israel should have allowed 12,000 aid trucks to enter Gaza. They've let in 8,500. 50 fuel trucks should be allowed into Gaza every day. Israel have let in 15 fuel trucks each day
